CREATE DATABASE
Function
This statement creates a new database entry in a data dictionary using DDL.
Syntax
CREATE DATABASE container_name [
ADABAS DBID dabatase_id HOST server_name [PORT port_number] [REMOTE PORT port_number] [REMOTESERVER remote_server_name] |
POWERFLEX/VSAM/RMS/CISAM/DISAM/DATAFLEX/MICROFOCUS/RMCOBOL HOST server_name [PORT port_number] [REMOTEPORT port_number] [REMOTESERVER remote_server_name]
where
container_name | The logical name for the database in the data dictionary. |
database_id | The ADABAS DBID. |
server_name | The machine the database server is running on. |
port_number | The TCP/IP port that the CONNX server is listening on. |
remote_server_name | The name of the server running the enterprise server service. |
CREATE DATABASE only applies to ADABAS, VSAM, RMS, CISAM, DISAM, DATAFLEX or POWERFLEX, MICROFOCUS, and RMCOBOL databases.
CREATE DATABASE does not actually create a database; instead it links CONNX to an existing database for further processing.
With CREATE DATABASE, you can create a link to an Adabas database using a script instead of using the CONNX Data Dictionary (CDD) Manager.
Execute a DISCONNECT prior to using the DATABASE container.
Execute a CREATE DATABASE before a CONNECT; otherwise the CONNECT will fail.
After executing a CREATE DATABASE, you can execute CREATE TABLE DESCRIPTION to complete the CDD.
